Ralph Lauren Q1 Same-Store Sales Surge 12%, Extending Momentum
RL sits 45% above its 52-week low of $273.04.
Summary
Ralph Lauren's first-quarter same-store sales jumped 12%, signaling continued strong consumer demand following the 17% comp growth reported in Q4. Revenue beat estimates, driven by growth in Asia and North America. The company also reported a rise in first-quarter profit. This is the first look at fiscal 2027 performance and suggests the brand's pricing power and product appeal remain intact. The result comes after a year of double-digit revenue and EPS growth, a dividend hike, and ongoing buybacks. With the stock near $396, this print reinforces the bull case and could drive upward estimate revisions.
